CARLO ANCELOTTI HAS admitted Real Madrid may decide not to offer him a new contract and added he is in no hurry to sign an extension.
Speculation around the Italian coach’s future has been increasing in recent weeks, with his side sitting second behind Barcelona in La Liga.
However, with his contract running until June 2016, the 55-year-old maintains there is plenty of time to work out the details over a renewal – if both parties want one.
“There is no rush,” he told esRadio. “I have another year of my contract to see whether or not I want to renew.
“We talked about sitting down to discuss a new deal, but we never worked out a day to sit.
If the club don’t call on me to renew today, they might call me in September, or perhaps not call me at all.”
Madrid were held to a 0-0 draw by city rivals Atletico in their Champions League quarter-final first leg at the Vicente Calderon on Tuesday, despite the Blancos dominating the match.
Ancelotti’s side had 17 shots on goal, compared to the eight mustered by Diego Simeone’s side, but the Italian insisted he was content with the result and performance.
“The team played well. It’s hard to play better than that in a field as complicated as Atletico’s. In the first hour we did very well. But of course we are not happy with the result. Although it gives us confidence for the second leg on Wednesday.”
